NFL Rumors: Browns, Jets, Panthers, Redskins

Browns

Browns HC Hue Jackson told reporters that while Jabrill Peppers will obviously play defense for them, they plan to find a role for him on the offensive side of the ball.

“He is a football player, a very dynamic player,” Jackson said, via the Detroit Free Press. “Obviously, he’s going to play defense for us, but we’ll find a role for him over there on offense. No question. … Again, when you have guys that have ability to make plays, you do anything and everything you can to put them in an environment so they can showcase their talent and ability. We will do that, but first we are bringing him in here to play defense and play special teams.”
